Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has outlined what Ibrox-bound wingers Jake Hastie and Jordan Jones are going to add to his team, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

The Gers have agreed pre-contract agreements with 20-year-old Hastie and 24-year-old Jones.

While Scotland Under-21 international winger Hastie will join Rangers in the summer transfer window after leaving Motherwell, Northern Ireland international winger Jones will switch to the Gers after parting company with Kilmarnock.

Rangers manager Gerrard has outlined what the two wingers will add to the team for the 2019-20 campaign, and has explained why he made the decisions to sign the duo.

The Scottish Sun quotes Gerrard as saying: “I think Jordan and Jake give us more options in the final third. They give us pace, they give us power. They can both create, they can both score.

“I think at important times this season when I’ve looked to change options or bring people off the bench, I think we’ve lacked a bit of quality in the final third.

“So that’s the reason behind it. Two players with big potential, hopefully they’ll come here and fulfil it.”
